Small Boutique hotels in TUNISIA

The tropical island of Djerba, just off mainland Tunisia, is the setting of the charming and historical village of Erriadh-Hara Sghira and the home of Dar Dhiafa. Dar Dhiafa, meaning “guest house” has captivated the original soul of the village and offers a serene stay spanning five authentic buildings which have been joined together and combine the inner patios, rooftop terraces, and domes harmoniously. Dar Dhiafa’s restaurant serves only the best typical and local dishes of the island in a refined manner and can be enjoyed in the inner patio or among the domes of the building. There are two swimming pools at the hotel, perfect for escaping the hotel Tunisian sun. Dar Dhiafa’s fifteen bedrooms are designed to transport guests to the traditional homes of the area in order to offer a unique experience and immerse in the culture. The décor, artwork, furniture, and even doors have been locally crafted with each room portraying its own characteristics. The island of Djerba is a wonderful blend of the relaxed mediterranean atmosphere with the history of the island’s original inhabitants. The best way to really immerse oneself is to visit the local ‘Houchs’, original dwellings of traditional design and function.
